    Slow Cooker Beef And Pepper Soup Recipe

    Here’s a meal with all the convenience of a stir-fry but re-imagined as a hearty slow-cooker soup for extra comfort-food value.

    Plenty of tomatoes and homemade bone broth give it a rich, flavorful base, and the peppers and cauliflower add some nice body even without the beef. Try some multicolored peppers for a nice visual effect, too: the bright colors are beautiful in contrast with the rest of the soup.

    Slow Cooker Beef And Pepper Soup

    If you want it faster, you could easily convert this one to a stovetop meal instead of putting it in the slow cooker. Just brown the beef and vegetables as directed, and then transfer them to a pot on your stove. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the vegetables are tender.

    The reason for using extra-lean beef here isn’t because beef fat is bad for you; beef fat is excellent for you! But cooking fatty ground beef in soups tends to leave an unpleasant layer of fat floating on top – it’s got a really off-putting mouthfeel.

    If you only have fatty ground beef, you can get around this by cooking the soup, refrigerating it, so the fat floats to the top and hardens, and then scraping off the hardened fat before reheating the soup and eating it.

    That’s a pain, though; it’s much easier to just start with lean beef and add some other source of healthy fat to your meal, maybe with some avocado slices or olives.
